Steve Jobs to headline Macworld San Francisco 2008

IDG World Expo officially announced Monday that Apple chief executive Steve Jobs will deliver the opening keynote address for next year's Macworld Conference & Expo.

Macworld will be held at San Francisco's Moscone Convention Center January 14-18, 2008, and the keynote address will be held on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. at Moscone West.

Among the product introductions expected at the conference is an ultra-thin and lightweight sub-notebook from Apple, which AppleInsider has detailed on several occasions (1, 2, 3).

"This is one of the biggest Mac community gatherings of the year and Steve’s keynote is always the most anticipated event of the week," said Mary Dolaher, CEO of IDG World Expo. "We're looking forward to a great show and are thrilled that Steve will once again be kicking it off."

Macworld Conference and Expo 2008 will host creative professionals from a cross-section of industries including design, print, online, photography, broadcast, videography and music.

I am hoping for the most impressive keynote ever. But then reality set in.

Let's hope it is the "most anticipated event of the week" this year.

The iPhone and iPod Touch are now here, which means that it should be a lot more Mac-specific than last year. I was a bit disappointed that last year's keynote was solely about the iPhone and nothing else.

Just give me MacPro. I am tired of waiting!

But I think AppleTV 2.0, same iPhone with new apps and 16gig version and finally the ultra-portable. That's all.
